Nickel(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The complexes were evaluated as pre-catalysts in the direct hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The pre-catalysts C1 and C4 gave higher furfural conversion (97% and 96%, respectively), as a result, they were also evaluated in the transfer hydrogenation of furfural using formic acid as the hydrogen source where higher furfural conversion (93%) was obtained and selectivity (100%) toward the formation of furfuryl alcohol at 4 h. The catalyst C1 was recycled three times with and it was observed that the catalytic activity might be due to a mixture of both molecular catalysis and nanoparticles, as evidenced by the decrease in activity in mercury poisoning experiments. The hydrogenation reactions were also extended to alpha-β unsaturated substrates and were selective toward saturation of the carbonyl functionality over alkene groups.

The synthesis and characterization of Ti and TiN thin films of different thicknesses was carried out on a martensitic stainless steel AISI 410 substrate used for tool manufacturing. The mechanical parameters between the interacting surfaces such as thickness, adhesion and hardness were measured. By means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) the superficial morphology of the Ti/TiN interface was observed, finding that the growth was of columnar grains and by means of EDAX the existence of titanium was verified.  Using X-ray diffraction (XRD) it was possible to observe the presence of residual stresses (~ -3.1 GPa) due to the different crystalline phases in the coating. Under X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) it was possible to observe the molecular chemical composition of the coating surface, being Ti-N, Ti-N-O and Ti-O the predominant ones.
